“Wind eleven knots, continuing deceleration. ”

“Optical tracking station is in preparation, weather is good and meets optical tracking conditions. ”

“The rocket signal is normal and the telemetry signal is normal. ”

“Attention, departments. Twenty minutes. ”

As a piece of information was sent to the launch command center, more than twenty staff members in front of Ye Qing also went into a tense busy situation.

Even Ye Qing couldn't help sitting upright due to the atmosphere.

Departments are in working condition and everything is normal. Chief Commander Chen Fangli has become a little relaxed at this time.

He picked up the red insulation cup and said to Ye Qing in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Ye, if you can see from the long march of Sanka's launch record. Our chance of success with this rocket launch is at least 70 percent. ”

“The remaining 30 per cent is not a launch failure, but a few minutes before the launch, when we suddenly encounter weather changes or work between departments, leading to a backlash in all preparations. ”

“Then we had to delay the launch time and wait for the next window. ”

“Real rockets have an irreversible chance of failing, less than 1 per cent. ”

Ye Qing revealed a less obvious smile, waved his hand and said: “Commander Chen, I am not worried about rocket problems. ”

“We are aware of the successive launches of the Yangtze Sanka rocket, and so far no significant developments have taken place. ”

“I'm actually worried about our satellite...”

General Commander Chen Fangli was slightly stunned. It took a moment to think about Ye Qing's fear of the cause, “It's okay, Mr. Ye, until the satellite was successfully launched into space. Our command center will be responsible for taking over all the posture adjustment challenges of this satellite. ”

“Well, then, Commander Chen, and the staff.” Ye Qing did not share his concerns about hardware issues. At this time, the satellite was already mounted on the rocket and had to go along with it.

A moment later.

On the countdown, go in and prepare for ten minutes.

Everything is moving in the right direction, all departments are detecting normally and the data are normal. Wind power at the launch site also decreased from 11 knots to about eight knots.

Although the Kowloon Air Base has been dry and rainy for many years, the longitude and latitude positions are ideal for launching satellites.

However, it is located in the Gobi, where the wind and sand are strong all year round. Often it takes more than a decade to wait for a launch window. In more than ten minutes, if the rocket is not fired smoothly, it will take a few days not to wait for the next window.

With successful launches, meticulous inspection is key, as is luck.

Good luck today.

Weather conditions also happen to be in optimal launch condition when the countdown enters five minutes in advance.

At this time, Ye Qing had come upstairs to the media studio with a cloud poem.

There is a huge sealed landing window facing the distant launcher. There are also several screens on the wall that show the details of the rocket on the launcher.

After Ye Qing set up a small camera, the loudspeaker also heard a powerful voice from the commander.

“One minute to prepare.

Countdown.

Fifty!

Forty!

…… ”

Thirty seconds later, Ye Qing walked into the observation window, cloud poetry followed behind, some afraid to hide behind Ye Qing. No one can predict what the noise of that 50-metre rocket in the distance will be when it enters the ignition.

“5… 4… 3… 2…"

With one second left in the countdown, Chief Commander Chen Fangli took over the summons and shouted out loud: “Ignite the fire. ”

The atmosphere was so tense at this moment that the air seemed to solidify in this second and erupt suddenly in the next.

The tower was instantly surrounded by intense white smoke and bright fireballs burst out of the bottom of the rocket and rushed into the sky. A breathing room, the whole heavens and earth trembled as if twenty turbine engines were thrusting through the observation window.

“Boomrong - Boomrong -”

Heavy smoke soared up hundreds of meters so high that the entire Yangtze Sanka rocket was concealed. Before this shocking scene, any creature becomes extremely vulnerable.

Cloud poetry shrunk behind Ye Qing, and Ye Qing's inner heart shook and swept until the pure white Changsan rocket burst out of the smoke.

Twenty-floor height objects are pulled out of the ground, and blazing like a white flaming sword lashes from the tail, like a mountain calling like a tsunami, straight into the clouds.

The sound barrier was quickly broken through.

Then it's twice as fast, three times as fast, five times, seven times...

The sky was torn apart, trembling.

The commander seemed to have shouted some kind of password, but he was no longer able to hear it in the studio.

Ye Qing will not be able to hear what it is until the rocket has hit a height of more than 10 km.

“Nine springs, the tracking signal is normal, the telemetry signal is normal. ”

“Nine Springs, optical tracking is normal. ”

“Radar tracking is normal.

Two minutes later, the momentum left by Changsana disappeared completely, only every thirty seconds, the sound of information gathered by the various observation stations.

Ye Qing returned to the command center. At this time, Chief Commander Chen Fangli had no time to say hello to Ye Qing. He could only smile back quickly and quickly turned his head to the information wall in front of him.

“Nine Springs, rocket posture normal. ”

“Nine Springs, Taiyuan Radar Station. ”

“Nine Springs, enter the first-degree arrowhead separation. ”

“Radar spotted target, first-degree arrow detachment successful, second-degree engine ignition successful. ”

“The tracking signal is normal and the telemetry signal is normal. ”

“Nine Springs, throw the rectifier. ”

“The radar found the target and the rectifier was separated successfully.

“Level 2 main engine, star and arrow ready for separation.

In a vast universe outside the atmosphere, the three-armored rocket, which rose from a desolate land and pulled out of the ground, has changed from a vast streamlined body of more than fifty metres to what is now tens of metres long, and engines and pipelines are bare.

The front end of the arrow is a golden irregular square object.

A pure white airflow erupted silently from the junction of the two objects, after which the golden yellow object advanced towards the darker stars farther and deeper. The arrow carrying the last journey slowly fell towards the blue planet below, stopping powerlessly.

“Star Arrow Separated Successfully. ”

“Star Arrows Separated Successfully. ”

The commander shouted twice in a row, in a serious tone, hidden in unmaskable agitation.

“Success! ”

The command room didn't know who shouted, and then the whole sitting staff stood up.

Their faces were filled with smiles, and although there was no such thing as a movie showing each other embracing each other, the atmosphere throughout the hall was not much worse than in the movies.

Cloud poetry kept applauding, smiling like flowers, "Boss, we made it. ”

Ye Qing and Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli were shaking each other's hands to celebrate. As the rocket launch succeeded, much of the tension eased.

Ye Qing turned his head and said, “We only succeeded in the first step. ”

Chief Commander Chen Fangli nodded, "Yes, it's just a successful rocket launch at the moment, and there's still a second step to be done. ”

The second step is to put the satellite in its intended orbit and activate it successfully.

The celebration did not last long, and staff quickly returned to the tense busy schedule.

Ten minutes later, the satellites that had arrived in the scheduled mooring orbit lit up the small booster engines and began to orbit the acceleration at the intended angle for the final punch.

At this point, the satellite at the depths of the stars, spurted simultaneously, and several angles began to eject a small stream of air for more precise postural fine-tuning.

It must be completely moored in synchronous orbit in an unequivocal manner.
